General Terms and Conditions

Part A: B42 App and Websites (End Users)

This part governs end users’ use of the B42 App (iOS and Android) and the websites b-42.com, elite.b-42.com, pro.b-42.com, and prevention.b-42.com. Part B of these Terms also applies to the use of B42 CoachZone by coaches and clubs.

The contracting parties are SFY GmbH, Industriestraße 15, 84149 Velden, registered in the commercial register of Landshut Local Court under HRB 10645, represented by Managing Director Andreas Gschaider (hereinafter “us,” “we,” or “SFY”), and our users (hereinafter also “you”).

1. Introduction

B42 aims to help all football players reach their full potential and provide lasting protection against injuries. Through our concepts, we want to give all athletes the opportunity to work on their fitness wherever and whenever they want, so they can play the best season of their lives. The following General Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) establish the legal framework for using B42 and the services we offer.

2. Scope

2.1. Contracting parties and subject matter

These Terms form the basis for all offers, purchase and usage agreements, and services that we offer through our website b-42.com or our app under the name B42, whether paid or free of charge. We do not accept any differing terms and conditions.

2.2. Minimum age and requirements

The B42 App and our services may be used by people aged 14 and over. By registering, users aged 14 to 17 confirm that they have obtained consent from their parents or legal guardians. Certain app features (in particular GPS storage, health integrations, and marketing communications) are only available to users aged 16 and over.

To use paid B42 services, you must be a consumer. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business, or self-employed professional activity. Part B of these Terms applies to business users (coaches, clubs, and businesses).

2.3. Supplementary terms

We reserve the right to agree supplementary terms for individual B42 services. We will notify you of these in good time before you use the service.

3. Formation of the Contract

3.1. Free registration

When you register to use free B42 services, the usage agreement is concluded once the registration process described in section 4 has been fully completed. You have no entitlement to registration. Completing the registration process establishes a contractual relationship free of charge, and these Terms become part of that relationship.

3.2. Paid subscriptions

Paid subscriptions can be purchased through the B42 App (via the App Store or Google Play) or our website (via Stripe). The contract is concluded when you click “Buy now” or an equivalent button and complete payment. Existing subscriptions purchased through Digistore remain valid and continue to be managed through Digistore; new subscriptions can no longer be purchased through Digistore.

3.3. Correcting input errors

Before completing a paid order, you can correct input errors at any time using your browser’s back function or within the ordering process.

3.4. Contract language

Contracts with us are concluded in German.

4. Registration Process and User Account

4.1. Registration

A user account is required to use B42 services. You can register using:

• Email address and a password of your choice
• Meta (Facebook) account
• Google account
• Apple ID (Sign in with Apple)

By registering, you agree to these Terms and our privacy policy. After successful registration, you will receive a confirmation email.

4.2. Login credentials

You must keep your login credentials confidential and inform us immediately if you become aware of misuse of your account. You are liable for all activities carried out through your user account, provided that you are not responsible for the unauthorized use.

4.3. Age verification

After registration, you enter your date of birth in the app. Age-dependent features are enabled or disabled based on this information (see section 2.2). You bear the consequences of providing incorrect age information.

5. B42 Services, Prices, Terms, and Delivery

5.1. Paid and free services

The scope of B42 services available to you depends on whether you purchase subscriptions and which ones you choose. Free use provides access only to certain basic features. The following paid products are available:

• B42 subscription: Access to the full training offering in the B42 App (iOS and Android).
• B42 Elite: Premium subscription with an extended range of features, available at elite.b-42.com and in the app.
• B42 prevention courses: Online prevention courses certified under section 20 of the German Social Code, Book V (SGB V), available at prevention.b-42.com. The provisions in section 5.5 also apply.
• B42 Nutrition for Footballers: A separate app (iOS and Android) with personalized nutrition recommendations and recipe suggestions for football players. The same Terms and a separate privacy policy apply to this app.

5.2. Prices

Current pricing models are listed in the app and on our website. All prices include the applicable value-added tax.

5.3. Subscription terms

We offer subscriptions with different terms. These renew automatically for the period originally selected unless you cancel in time. The term begins when the subscription is purchased.

Each subscription must be canceled separately. You can cancel a subscription at any time without giving reasons, effective at the end of the minimum term or the respective renewal period.

In-app subscriptions (App Store or Google Play) must be canceled through the settings of the relevant store. If your subscription is billed through iTunes, a cancellation deadline of 24 hours before the end of the minimum term or renewal period applies for technical reasons.

5.4. Delivery / activation

After the contract is concluded and full payment is received, the purchased services are generally activated immediately in the app. You will receive confirmation at the email address provided during registration.

5.5. B42 prevention courses (section 20 SGB V)

B42 prevention courses are online self-study courses for preventive health, certified under section 20 SGB V and offered at prevention.b-42.com. The following additional provisions apply:

Purchase and access

Prevention courses are offered as one-time purchases (not subscriptions). After full payment, you receive permanent access to the course content at prevention.b-42.com.

Participation and certificate of completion

To receive a participation certificate, which is required for reimbursement by your health insurer, you must complete the entire course. The certificate is sent automatically by email after successful completion.

Health insurance reimbursement

B42 prevention courses are certified under section 20 SGB V. Statutory health insurers may reimburse part or all of the course fees. However, the decision rests exclusively with your health insurer; SFY GmbH does not guarantee reimbursement. After completing the course, you must submit the reimbursement application and participation certificate to your insurer yourself.

Right of withdrawal for prevention courses

The general right of withdrawal in section 16 also applies to prevention courses. However, it expires early if, after purchase, you expressly confirmed that the course should start immediately and simultaneously acknowledged that you would lose your right of withdrawal when you begin using the course. In this case, withdrawal is no longer possible once you have accessed the course content. If you have not yet used the course content, you retain your right of withdrawal within the 14-day period.

No partial refund

No partial refund of the purchase price is provided for incompletely finished courses if the right of withdrawal has already expired.

6. Payment Methods and Terms

6.1. Payment processing

Payment is processed according to the purchase channel:

• In-app purchases (iOS): Through the Apple App Store; Apple’s payment terms apply.
• In-app purchases (Android): Through the Google Play Store; Google’s payment terms apply.
• Website purchases: Through Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. (Stripe). Available payment methods are displayed during checkout.
• Existing Digistore subscriptions: Subscriptions purchased through Digistore before these Terms took effect continue to be billed and managed through Digistore.

6.2. Default and costs

If we incur expenses due to a declined payment for which you are responsible (e.g. insufficient funds), we may charge you the actual costs incurred.

7. Your Health

7.1. Health requirements

You use B42 services and their exercises and training content at your own risk. Good general health is a prerequisite. If you have known pre-existing conditions, we strongly recommend seeking medical advice before use. This applies in particular to cardiovascular conditions, lung or respiratory diseases, spinal and joint problems, neuromuscular conditions, after surgery, and other health limitations.

For female users: The training and coaching we offer should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women.

As a general rule, pay attention to your body’s signals. If you experience pain, discomfort, shortness of breath, nausea, or dizziness before or while using B42, consult a doctor before continuing.

7.2. No substitute for medical advice

The services and information offered through B42 do not constitute medical advice or advice from a physician and do not replace medical examination or treatment.

7.3. Training methods

Fitness and nutrition advice is subject to continually evolving scientific knowledge. Although we base B42 on current studies, we do not guarantee that our content always reflects the latest research findings.

8. Rights and Obligations of SFY

13. User-Generated Content and User Obligations

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision by an unambiguous statement (e.g. by email):

SFY GmbH
Industriestraße 15
84149 Velden
Email: info@b-42.com

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send your notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.

Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw from the contract, we must refund all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day we receive your withdrawal notification. We will use the same payment method you used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no event will you incur fees for this refund.

16.2. Expiry of the right of withdrawal

For a service contract, the right of withdrawal expires once we have fully provided the service, if we began performance only after you gave your express consent and simultaneously acknowledged that you would lose your right of withdrawal upon our full performance of the contract. For digital content, the right of withdrawal also expires once we begin performance after you have given your express consent and simultaneously confirmed that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal.

17. Data Protection

Current versions are available at b-42.com/en-us/datenschutz (website), b-42.com/en-us/datenschutzerklaerung-app (B42 App), b-42.com/en-us/datenschutz-b42-nutrition (B42 Nutrition for Footballers), and b-42.com/en-us/datenschutz-coachzone (CoachZone).

We reserve the right to amend these Terms with effect for the future. We will notify you of changes by email at least six weeks before the new version is intended to take effect and inform you of your right to object, the deadline, and the legal consequences. If you do not object within that period, the new Terms are deemed accepted.
